Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for fabricating liquid crystal displays, and particularly to a method and apparatus for fabricating liquid crystal displays preventing a gravity mura problem from occurring.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- A liquid crystal display (LCD) has advantages of lightness, low power consumption, less radiation and applied to various portable electronic products such as notebook computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs). In addition, LCD monitors and LCD televisions are gaining popularity as a substitute for traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors and televisions.
- The LCD panels are usually viewed at a standing-up position, and gravity will change the pressure balance of the liquid crystal inside the LCD panel. “Standing-up position” means a position such that the direction along panel thickness is in the horizontal direction or approximately perpendicular to the earth-gravity direction. Please refer to
FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a standing-up conventional LCD panel. TheLCD panel 100 has twoglass substrates liquid crystal 106 is filled between theglass substrates sealing area 108. When theLCD panel 100 is in a standing-up position, three kinds of forces, which are shown as F1, F2, and F3 inFIG. 1 , act onto the contact face of theliquid crystal 106 in the bottom region of theLCD panel 100 and theglass substrate liquid crystal 106 in theLCD panel 100 and the ambient. The second force F2 is due to the capillarity of theliquid crystal 106. The third force F3 is due to the gravity force of theliquid crystal 106. - When the sum of the pulling forces F1 and F2 is larger than or equal to the pushing force of F3, the
liquid crystal 106 in theLCD panel 100 is in a pressure balanced condition, and the images can be normally displayed. If the sum of the pulling forces F1 and F2 is smaller than the pushing force of F3, a gravity mura, or gap mura, will happen at the bottom region of the standing-upLCD panel 100, and seriously worsen the image quality. Accordingly, to prevent from the mura defects, a relation of F1+F2>F3 must be maintained, in which F2 and F3 each is approximately a fixed value, and F1 remarkably varies with the variation of temperature. - Please refer to
FIG. 2 .FIG. 2 is a schematic cross sectional diagram showing aconventional LCD panel 200 horizontally positioned. TheLCD panel 200 comprises twoglass substrates sealing area 208. A liquid crystal cavity (LC cavity) 210 is defined by a plurality ofspacers 212 between theglass substrates sealing area 208.Liquid crystal 206 is filled in to theLC cavity 210. Thespacers 212 are used to maintain a predetermined gap between the twoglass substrates glass substrates FIG. 1 is equal or approximate to 0. The weight of theliquid crystal 206 in theLC cavity 210 is defined as a standard liquid crystal filling weight. - However, at a high temperature, as shown in
FIG. 3 , becauseliquid crystal 206 has a thermal expansion coefficient more than those of theglass substrate spacers 212, theglass substrate LC cavity 210 is higher than the external pressure, that is, the force F1 shown inFIG. 1 is less than 0. In such situation,LCD panel 200 cannot comply with the relation of F1+F2>F3, that is, theLCD panel 200 will have a gravity defect in a high temperature environment. Such defect is especially significant in the manufacturing of large size LCD panels. - Most conventional end seal processes for display panels adopt a multistage pressure increase/decrease method, however, the panels manufactured tend to have a gravity defect and other mura problems as mentioned above, especially for a large size display panel.
- For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,086,443 and 6,208,405 disclose a sealing method for panels and attempt to eliminate the mura on LCDs or form uniform liquid crystal cell gap. Please refer to
FIG. 4 showing the time-pressure curve during the end-seal process of U.S. Pat. No. 6,086,443. During initial T1 time, the pressure gradually increases from P1 to P2. During the next T2 time, the residual amount of the liquid crystal filled in the liquid crystal cell is discharged by maintaining the pressure P2 constantly. Next, with maintaining the pressure P2, a sealant is applied to the injection hole. During the next T3 time, the pressure decreases from P2 to P3, and during the next T4 time, the sealant is flattened with maintaining the pressure P3 constantly. Finally, after the end-seal sealant is hardened by the ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, the pressure is eliminated. However, in the multi-stage pressure end-seal process, the panel is not heated, which is only heated when compressing the two glass substrates and structurally attaching the sealant and the substrates together in order to define a cell cavity, and the gravity defect and other mura problems are not solved. - Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of fabricating an LCD panel to prevent the display from a gravity mura problem.

TheLCD panel 300 has a similar structure to theLCD panel 200. The twoglass substrates LCD panel 300 are spaced byspacers 312 to form anLC cavity 310. At room temperature, the internal pressure of theLC cavity 310 is lower than the external pressure, that is, the force F1 as shown inFIG. 1 is positive, and such that a slightly concave surface is formed on each of theglass substrates LCD panel 300 is placed in a high temperature environment, theglass substrates glass substrates - The method of fabricating an
LCD panel 300 according to the present invention is further described hereinafter. The first embodiment of the method is to fillliquid crystal 306 by a vacuum suction method to form theLCD panel 300. First, a panel comprising twoglass substrates glass substrates liquid crystal 306. AnLC cavity 310 for accommodatingliquid crystal 306 is formed after theglass substrates spacers 312 are disposed between theglass substrates glass substrates LC cavity 310.

glass substrates - At last, the pressure exerted to the
glass substrates liquid crystal 306 with a second predetermined weight is encapsulated inside theLC cavity 310, completing the manufacturing of theLCD panel 300. The second predetermined weight can be controlled by the heating temperature of theglass substrates LC cavity 310 and make the surfaces of the twoglass substrates - As compared to a conventional end-seal process for LCD panels, the end-seal process according to the present invention is applying a predetermined pressure to the glass substrates to discharge a part of liquid crystal and simultaneously heating the glass substrates to a predetermined temperature; therefore, the mura problem can be inhibited in the LCD panel such obtained.

liquid crystal 306 by a one drop fill (ODF) method to form theLCD panel 300. First, a panel comprising twoglass substrates glass substrates spacers 312 are disposed on theglass substrate glass substrates - The two
glass substrates liquid crystal 306 on theglass substrate liquid crystal 306 filled is less than the standard liquid crystal filling weight. For example, the weight of theliquid crystal 306 filled may be in the range of about 95% to 99.5% of the standard liquid crystal filling weight, which is the weight of liquid crystal filled into theLC cavity 310 and make the surfaces of the twoglass substrates liquid crystal 306, the twoglass substrates LC cavity 310 and theliquid crystal 306 is encapsulated inside theLC cavity 310.

One is to heat thesubstrates stage 402 supporting theglass substrate 302 and thestage 404 adsorbing theglass substrate 304. Another is to heat thesubstrates cavity 406 of the liquidcrystal injection chamber 400. The example of the heating device is a heating filament for heating the substrates by means of convection before thecavity 406 reaches a predetermine degree of vacuum P0, or an IR heater to heat the substrates by means of convection of hot air and radiation in vacuum. The other is to pre-heat the twoglass substrates crystal injection chamber 400, and when the temperature is lowered to the predetermined temperature T0, the alignment and the sealing are performed in thecavity 406. - As compared to a conventional method of manufacturing an LCD panel, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, a step of heating is performed on the two
glass substrates LCD panel 300 is assembled in a high temperature ambient, and in this situation, the pressures outside and inside of theLC cavity 310 are equal, that is, the force F1 as shown inFIG. 1 is equal to 0. Therefore, theLCD panel 300 at a high temperature also can satisfy the relation of F1+F2>F3 and the gravity mura will be prevented. - Please prefer to
